In 2012 the Centre organised a Conference on IMC in Cadore, a mountainous area situated in the Veneto Region not far from the Austrian border. The aim of the conference was to support local authorities in merging public services as foreseen by the new regional legislation. On this occasion best practices from the Ticino Canton were presented. The conference was supported by the Regional Council and other local stakeholders. During a meeting between the Head of Democratic Institutions and Governance Department, Mr. Alfonso Zardi, and the Head of the Regional Direction for Local Authorities, Mr. Maurizio Gasparin which took place in December 2012, Mr Gasparin expressed his willingness to adopt the Strategy for Good Governance and Innovation at the Local Level in the Veneto Region

Activity in 2011

In 2012 the Centre will provide support for the adoption of ELOGE by the city of Florence. The local administration of Florence will also be directly involved in a peer review with other cities aimed at assessing its capacities in the way they provide public service and exercise public authority with a view to improving its capacities in these areas. The involvement of other cities, such as Milan and Turin, is under consideration while the participation of the cities of Padua and Verona is currently being negotiated.
